Industrial-Organization-Transformation-Oriented Agricultural Modernization with Chinese Characteristics: From the Perspective of Industrial and Agricultural Interaction

Abstract

Agricultural modernization as an outcome of economic development cannot be achieved within the agricultural sector only. The agricultural transformation process in western countries has revealed that agricultural modernization is a process in which agricultural organizations spontaneously achieve the transformation in agricultural industrial organization and agricultural technology with the core ideology of industrialization. The existing binary system has made Chinese agriculture fail to achieve the transformation in industrial organization and technology synchronically with the industrial sector. Therefore, in the current conditions, in order to facilitate agricultural modernization, we must transform the land system at the level of relations of production, urban and rural household registration system, urban and rural social security system and other key factors, promote the transformation of agricultural industrial organization with the core concept of industrial revolution, thus promoting the spontaneous revolution in agricultural production technology. Keywords: Agricultural modernization, Industrialization, Industrial organization, TransformationAgricultural modernization is an internal decision of economic development rules as well as one of our nation's strategic measures. However, in spite of its half-a-century process, China's agricultural modernization still fails to change its traditional agriculture. The basic reasons lie in that China's agricultural modernization fails to follow the basic rules of System Theory, over-emphasizes the technological transformation of agricultural system while neglecting that in industrial organization. This paper will explore a new path of agricultural modernization with the orientation of industrial reform in the agricultural sector against the current modernization background.

More so, there must be interdependent relationship between agricultural organization, transformation in agricultural industrial organization and agricultural technology for agriculture modernization in any country.…”
